Chapter 217: Taking Advantage of the Situation
In the dark room, the layout of the house can only be vaguely seen with the light coming through the gaps in the window.
The moment Jiang Wanning opened her eyes, she didn't even realize that she had returned to the Jiang family.
It was not until she felt the water stains on her face that she realized what was happening and wanted to reach out and grab the tissue beside the bed to wipe it off.
But unexpectedly, someone seemed to have taken the lead.
The other person's warm fingertips touched the corner of her eyes, with a bit of caution and endless heartache.
Jiang Wanning first widened her eyes in disbelief, then reacted and confirmed that she was not dreaming. She could no longer restrain herself and turned around to meet Xie Yanchuan's eyes that were faintly shining in the night.
"I'm here, Ningning."
He spoke softly, and at the same time, he crossed over again and took her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
This was probably the first time in Xie Yanchuan's life that he coaxed someone like this, and his tone was so gentle that it seemed as if he wanted to drown the person in it.
Jiang Wanning felt the embrace in front of her as if it were real, and she went from being in disbelief at first to a deep embrace after confirmation.
She could no longer control the tears in the corners of her eyes, and they rolled down like a dam breaking.
The two of them didn't kiss or speak, just hugged each other until Jiang Wanning had cried enough, then she looked up at him again: "Xie Yanchuan...what's going on?"
"Why didn't I find any trace of you when I was at the scene?"
"And my eldest brother, how is he now?"
Jiang Wanning has rarely cried since she was a child. When she was bullied as a child, she would not cry but would only think about how to retaliate.
When she grew up, she would not cry even if she was bullied, because she was absolutely sure that those who bullied her would not get anything good from her in the end.
Even during the day, when she learned that Xie Yanchuan and Jiang Wenzhou might die, she did not cry, because she had to shoulder burdens that did not belong to her.
But it was not until now when she had found it again and was held in someone's arms and comforted that she suddenly felt that she was actually very wronged.
Although Jiang Wanning didn't say what she had experienced during this period, the feeling of having her fate in someone else's hands and being manipulated at will was ultimately unpleasant.
She had already reached her limit. If Jiang Wenzhou and Xie Yanchuan had not been there to support her, she might have collapsed emotionally long ago.
"Don't worry, big brother is fine."
Knowing that Jiang Wanning was worried about Jiang Wenzhou's situation, Xie Yanchuan first answered the key points from her series of questions to calm her anxious mood.
When talking about the situation at that time, a momentary fear flashed in the man's eyes.
"It was Ellie who saved us."
"Ellie?"
When this familiar name was mentioned again, Jiang Wanning felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.
After all, it was Ai Li who wanted to kill her at that time, and now it was also her who really saved Jiang Wenzhou and Xie Yanchuan.
For a moment, even Jiang Wanning couldn't figure out whether Ai Li was good or bad, and what was the purpose of doing all this?
"Um."
Xie Yanchuan seemed to have the same confusion as Jiang Wanning.
As he nodded in agreement, he raised his hand to help Jiang Wanning get a few more tissues to wipe the tears from her face.
"Each private room in the auction venue actually has a secretly built escape route leading to the outside."
"The situation was urgent, so she brought us out."
Now that I have looked at the timeline, it was almost when Jiang Wenzhou and the others had just escaped from the explosion site that the people who had chased Jiang Wanning and the others also responded, saying that they had successfully found Chen Canghui.
At that time, Ellie looked at the two of them with a cold expression.
Mo Ming said that he and Jiang Wanning were even now, and then he fled in opposite directions before Xie Yanchuan and Jiang Wenzhou could react.
Speaking of this, Xie Yanchuan seemed a little helpless: "She must have someone to pick her up. She is very familiar with the terrain around the hotel. My brother and I chased her for a while, but she got away from us."
"Both of our headsets were damaged at the explosion site. Later, because we were worried about your condition, we didn't dare to stay there for too long, so we headed in the direction you had chased Chen Canghui."
"It was probably around that time that you took Shadow back to the hotel."
This is why Jiang Wanning arranged so many people but was unable to find any trace of the two people in the end.
The timelines of the two groups were perfectly offset, causing such a shocking mistake that Jiang Wanning widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Um……"
Xie Yanchuan reached out again and pulled the person closer to his arms: "At that time, we also thought you were in trouble and were almost scared. Fortunately, we contacted the second brother later and found out that you were okay."
"But when we came back here, you had already fallen into a coma. Big Brother didn't want to disturb your rest. Plus, Dr. Yu had also heard about the hotel explosion, and he was anxious to go over and comfort him, so I had to stay with you."
It had been a while since Xie Yanchuan had given such a long speech, but now he was very patient and sorted out the cause and effect and the whole story of the incident with Jiang Wanning.
After he finished speaking, he felt extremely distressed and touched the other person's back, which had become noticeably thinner in the past few days. "I'm sorry, Ningning... From now on, no matter what happens, I will never leave you alone again."
During the time when Jiang Wanning fell into a coma, Xie Yanchuan did a lot of mental reconstruction.
He also decided that even if they both faced risks in the future, he would sacrifice his own life to protect the other person, and would never leave Jiang Wanning alone in this unknown situation again.
Jiang Wanning felt an itch on her back where his fingers had brushed against hers, and goose bumps appeared uncontrollably. She raised her hand and slapped the man's fingers away, looking up and asking, "So, given this situation, what are you and Big Brother going to do next?"
Jiang Wanning didn't sleep for very long.
After all, the explosion scene involved a wide area. Even though Jiang Wanning wanted to suppress the news before she fell into a coma, she was unable to stop various attention-grabbing tabloid media from spreading the news at will.
There were heavy casualties at the explosion site, and those who could come to the "Star Lord Hotel" to participate in the auction were either rich or noble. Once the auction was publicized, it immediately attracted a large number of onlookers.
In just a short while, speculation about whether the two people were really dead has become overwhelming in the outside world and on the Internet.
When Xie Yanchuan heard this, a flash of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Of course..."
"It's time to take advantage of the situation."
